The Thankfulness Walk


"Thankfulness is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others." -Cicero

This week during our nature study outing, the Upper School students went on a "Thankfulness Walk." As they walked the beautiful trails of Veteran's Park, each student spent time thinking about the ten things that they are most thankful for.  Here are some of the things that they wrote down on their lists...
